Executive Summary:
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement with Coconino County Community College District ("CCCD") outlining the joint purchase and operation of the indoor shooting range located at 11972 N US Highway 89 Flagstaff, AZ 86004. The City is currently in escrow to purchase the property with a contingency in the purchase agreement requiring approval of this IGA.
The IGA allows the City and CCCD to purchase and manage a firearms training facility that will support their need for year-round, indoor training and educational activities. The IGA includes an initial agreement to license use of the facility to the Coconino County Jail District ("CCJD") and its employees, including the Coconino County Sheriff's Office ("CCSO"). Finally, the IGA allows the City and CCCD to license use of the facility to other law enforcement agencies for their training and educational needs. The CCJD license fee is being used to complete the purchase of the facility. Any future license fees are dedicated to facility operation and maintenance costs.

Financial Impact:
The facility purchase price of $2,350,000 is funded as outlined in the IGA. The fiscal impact on the City of Flagstaff is one million and one hundred thousand dollars ($1,100,000.00).
This consists of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) towards the purchase of the facility, and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to fund the maintenance and operations reserve fund required under the IGA.
The remainder of the purchase price are fiscal obligations of CCCD and CCJD.
The City portion is funded with combination of development impacts fees of $611,000 and the Police Department budget reallocation of $489,000. Building purchase was not anticipated during the FY2025-26 Budget process and therefore is an unbudgeted purchase. City may be required to do a formal budget amendment to reallocate budget appropriation to the Police Department, if needed.
